Frugal Family Feels the Love

Love may not cost a thing but expressing your feelings does. Getting a little creative can show how much you really care without draining your wallet.

 

Nothing says I love you like a homemade gift. Especially when it's made with little hands. Valentine's Day will be here soon and too often people feel pressured to break the bank in order to say, "I love you."

If you really take the time to think about something special, you can make a wonderful gesture of your love that will warm anyone's heart. From cupcakes with heart-shaped sprinkles to photo frames adorned with special 'love-day decor,' there are so many things you can make to share the love.

Stores like A.C. Moore and JoAnn Fabrics carry nearly everthing you'd need to make a special Valentine's Day gift. Whether it's homemade sweets, handmade jewelry, or a personalized card, you'll find all you need to make Valentine's day special.

Blue Santa Beads is an excellent place to shop if you want to make your own jewelry. They even offer classes for any level of experience if you need a little help.

The Village Art Shop and Aquatic Gifts carry art supplies to make a creative gift as well. However, if getting crafty isn't your cup of tea, they do carry unique gifts that are sure to make your Valenine feel loved.
